IB IAP-VSDAI Wool was very quiet In Boston today Nominal quotations, however, were unchanged from laat week aa mem bera of the wool trade maintained a watting attitude. Cables received by private concern In Boston Indicated that wool prices In Australia were firm. Peace at Any Price! IF today's reports from London are correct, then this column sticks to its original prediction, there will be no general war in Europe this year. For according to these reports, England and France, have agreed unanimously on a policy of peace at (almost) any price. They may not be giving Dor Fuehrer all he aaks, but they are giving him enough to justify his taking his place, among successful German statesmen, next to the immortal Bismarck. Like him or detest him, the fact remains, This neurotic paper-hanger, this ex-Austrian cataleptic cor poral, with the Austrian anschluss behind him, and now with the Sudeten portion of Czechoslovakia handed over' to him virtually on a silver platter, has achieved more for the glory and growth of the German empire, than any German leader since 1870. IT'S incredible, but there it is, if the Anglo-French policy is correctly reported today, it's true. And results are what count, in Germany and everywhere else. They may be achieved by devious, mendacious or even criminal means, but the fact remains, nothing succeeds like success. So, if England and Franc have agreed to the dismember ment of Czechoslovakia, and if she resists, will not go to her assistance, Germany may have to crush a valiant little republic, but like the conflict in Spain that can be done by sheer superi ority of numbers, without a general war in Europe. And Der Fuehrer emerges, as the most powerful and the most feared national figure in all Europe! But Not for Long THE above doesn't mean, peace is certain of course. With Europe in its present state, nothing is certain, nothing can be. But it does mean a general war in 1938 is highly unlikely, even more unlikely than it has been for many months past. . For unless Hitler is quite mad, he won't try to press his advantage at the present time. He will take what England and France offer, and be content, until the present tension eases, and another opportunity presents itself. In other words Hitler has everything to gain, and nothing to lose by going slow. A misstep now, an impulse like the dog in the fable to grab the bone, might well upset the apple cart, and he would lose everything he has gained, including no doubt his head. Whether Hitler is well balanced enough to realize this remains to be seen, the next few weeks are certainly fateful ones for him, and for the world. Our own guess is he will continue to strut about and boast and bluff, for home consumption quite as much as for the edification of his foreign enemies, but be very careful to do nothing that will make England and France change their minds, and drag him and his country iuto a general European war. A S has been previously stated in this column, Hitler's policy aa we see it is to avoid a general war, but get everything he can, while the getting is good, by waging war piecemeal, and never declaring it. This has been his policy regarding Spain, and incidentally he is getting valuable war materials from Spain at the present time, also his policy regarding Austria, and now it's Szecho- slovakia. With a foothold in the he will bide his time until another opening presents itself or he makes one, and he will take over that country and then raise his sights to Rumania and perhaps the Ukraine. This is assuming the Czechs don't fight now, if they do, then Hitler will claim he has been attacked, the Czechs have refused to abide by the allied terms, and the country will be conquired now, with England and France little better thau accessories. WHAT a mess, what a messl With the general appeasement policy in Europe looking toward a readjustment which will satisfy the "out" at the expense of the "ins" and avoid a general war, this column heartily agrees. But with a Nazi dictatorship on one aide, a Fascist dictator ship on another, with an unoffending democracy like Czecho slovakia, crushed between them, we fail to see how eventually war CAN be avoided, unless democracy in Europe is to end. If this is true, then far better, have it now, than later I Beware Mr. Deer Hunter! SPEAKING of war, the deer hunting season opens tomorrow. We call it sport, but as far as the door are concerned it's war, a one-sided war of destruction. Well this column is not going to oppose the open season on humanitarian grounds or any other. Let all those who like to hunt and kill deer do so, hut we wish they would stop right there. And this is a word urging them to do so, stop killing people, men, women and children for deer I QATURDAY an Oregon woman was killed in northern Cali fornia when a careless hunter shot at a half hidden target. How many more innocent lives must be taken and charged up to criminal carelessness! For that's what it is, CRIMINAL. And unlike real war the escape is so easy. Nothing is really needed but common sense, common caution, a decent regard for others. That's all. Behind practically every fatality in the deer season is the individual, who is only thinking of HIMSELF his desire to bag his buck, first, and explain why it wasn't a buck afterward ! RIOREOVKR the victim of a careless hunter is not the only one who suffers. Often grief stricken families are left without their wage earners, and families of those who take lives however innocently, suffer equally with those whose lives are taken. As for the careless hunter, even though he may run away from the law he can never run away from himself, known or unknown, that sense of guilt will never leave him. And it 's all so needless I So in the hope that something can be done, aa the season opens, to avoid heartbreak and tragedy and sorrow, the follow ing familiar rules are of l'ered i W-DFOTTD MAIL Sudeten section, undoubtedly TRTBUXE, MEDFOKD. , DONT ahoot at any object unleas you can positively Identify It sa a deer, and a BUCK. s i DONT let Imagination put a pair of horns on another hunter's red hatl If you are excitable and subject to "buck fever", DONT HUNTI DON'T handle your gun carelessly In camp; unload It IMMEDIATELY after the hunt.

GRIMACE WHILE Correspondent nays he caught his wife indulging In phyalognomlcnl grimaces before her mirror. At first he thought she waa making faces at htm. but when he asked what she had against him this time she told him to go away and not disturb her while she was taking her ear exercises. After the exer cise period she explained that a friend of hers had been patron izing an ear spe cialist at a call, for Infla tion of Eustachian tubes, pneumatic maseage of her ear drums, etc., to relieve her deafness, but without no ticeable results. Then the lady wrote Ol' Doc Brady. Don't they all, sooner or later? The Ol Doc must have been ruled off the bowling green that day, for he sent the lady en answer and rec ommended that she perform dally fa cial Rymnastlcs. The lady, remembering to enclose a three-cent-stamped, self -addressed envelope, received her reply and faithfully followed the Ol' Doc's sug gestion, and lo and behold, after some weeka of It she began to hew better and now hears almost as well as ever. t I can neither affirm nor deny the truth of the atory. Every one haa noticed the uncon scious grimaces people make when trying to see something which la not very distinct. Most of us have noticed also the grimaces that go with strain ing to hear words In the midst ol blurring noises. Donkeys can wiggle their ears nd shake their scalps. Therefore some persons who can do It do not do 't The earnest endeavor to do It In a systematic fashion, while sitting be fore a mirror and studying the an tlon of the muscles, Is a good way to prevent progressive deafness.

Man About Manhattan B; GfcOKOt rtCKEB NEW YORK There Is something terribly startling and awfully thrill ing about a telegram. You never know what to expect. It may an nounce a death, or bring ttdlngs of a wedding. They make you hold your breath a little, and you don't expel tt until the envel ope Is ripped open and you read what's In side. I get Iota of telegrams. Every b o d y In New York gets tele- KXt&6TUCUt grams because everybody sends them. And after awhile tt gets to he ltke the cry ot "wolf." For most of them are from press-agenta. All presa-agenta send telegrams here. The psychology be hind It Is that you may forget a tele phone call, or a note, or a letter, but not a telegram. A wire plunks Into your Imagination. It almost makes a sound, like throwing a rock from height Into a pool of water. People send telegrams when they could communicate much more quickly with you by merely reaching for the telephone. But they don't want to say words Into a telephone that probably would be forgotten Maybe they think I'm absent-minded rt certainly looks that way. Thev tele graph information across the street. In such Instances It would require at least SO minutes for the wire to be delivered. Bpt a ealt by phone, or even In person, would take only two minute. Today I received seven telegram, two from people in the same block. One of them Mid: "Pleaae kltl atory about Information Incor rect." Five minute after this wire was sent 1 was having lunch with it author, but he never mentioned tt to me. Tt was on my dek when I got back. Another one advised: "J.

All this was In the telegram. That Is nearly a 300-word straight wire. It was sent from an office Just three squares from where my desk Is.

By the time these words are read (ao rapidly have events moved during the past few hours) the lightnings of actual war may be flashing. Or a sudden shift of the winds that are blowing over Europe may cause the lowering clouds to break and drift away at least temporarily. At the moment these words are written, NO ONE knows what may happen. A 8 haa been said so often before, it is a poker game that Is going on in Europe. The stakes are high. In Hitler's case, the stakes may be his whole future, for unless he can create the Impression at home that Germany Is making ateady progress toward what she wanta he may lose hla political head. No stakes can be higher than that. NOBODY believes that Germany Is ready for war. Few outside Ger many believe there la any possibility the Germans can win If they DO go to war. It I doubtful If even Hit ler's generals have any part of the high confidence with which Ger many's military leaders entered the last war. But don't forget this: The DECIS ION will rest with HITLER. Hitler Is a mere human, subject to aU the frailties of human beings. He may know Just how strong he Is and Just how weak he Is. He may know that he CANT AFFORD to go to war, and may be planning to bluff to the last moment and then find a way out that will save hla face. But at any moment he may lose hla temper and men do strange and unaccountable things when they are angered beyond a certain point. He may muii too rar ana nave to go to war to cover up hia mistake. THE real danger in Europe Ilea In the fact that ONE MAN HAS TOO MUCH POWER. That Is why It is impossible to predict what may happen In the next few houra. The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One ) come Intensely Anglophile, regards Neville Chamberlain as a very great man, and loves every Instant of his London life. . Vnliu-ky Aiigurlea. Indeed, there are unfortunate, sign that Kennedy Is going th9 way of Page, James Russell Lowell and the one or two other American ambassa dor of whom London hss made much. Already there are disquieting reports that he permlta himself abroad the eame bitter private criti cism of the administration which he Indulged In here. While Kennedy la loved In London, he Is no longer populsr st the White House. The president knows of his private talk, resents it, and rebukes It when he can. An Interesting In cident waa that of the news-letters he used to write from London to his Intlmatea. Including several newspa per commentators. The president got wind of the letters thla spring, and promptly ordered his recretarlat to plant a news story, to the effect thst he was disgusted that his Lon don ambassador should try to further his 1040 ambitions by peddling confi dential Information procured In the course of hla official duties. Another Ride Taker Bullitt la different from Kennedy In most things. Kennedy was born with a Boston rough diamond: Bullitt, with a Phllldelphla golden spoon In hia mouth. While Kennedy la the tough buntnesa msn. Bullitt Is the dilettante Intellectual, mannered. amutng. a magnificent talker. While Kennedy la a practical conservative. Bullitt Is a disillusioned leftist. And while Kennedy Is in bad odor at the White House. Bullitt could not be more highly valued. Of the two. Bullitt Is irobably the Abler man. tn PYance. ha haa had a success quite equivalent to Ken nedy's In London. He was sn unof flclsl member of the Blum cabinet, and today hi, relations with Dalsdler are almost as close aa were hla ra latlons with Blum. Because of new friendships snd old association, he l an Intense francophile. Just as Ken nedy la an Anglophile. And his views on collective security would mske the Isolationist' hair stand on end. Taking them together. Bullitt and Kennedy are probab.lv the best am bassadors the United States hss nsd in a long time. But the fsct remains thst. being psrtlssns of the countries to which they are accredited, they will bear the most careful watching. Communications eea l ittle Hope for Democracy To te Editor: Inasmuch as Hitler and arttssollni are painted quite black in America t should like to daub a bit of white paint on the canvas in their fav?r. Hitler saved Germany from Com- j munism- Re took women from pub Ho Ufa and told them to stsy noma, when also the Bible enjoins them to stay. He alao saved Germany eco nomically, and haa given her people work Instead -of deatroylng their vlf reliance with doles. Mussolini saved Italy from anarchy and Communism. He simplified gov ernment by laying off 42,000 poli ticians. He stopped all nonsensical strikes. He also told the gangsters of Mafia where to head In and there by brought law and order to Italy. These men are condemned for their use of force. But force, and plenty ot It, Is the only answer to the lawless ness and crime rampant In the world today. Rulers cannot be sissies when the people set out to be devils Incar nate. Moreover It Is only a matter ot time when all democracies will have to copy their forceful tactics In order to avert anarchy. R. O. CHAPLIN. Central Point, Ore. Sept. 10. J, c. Barnes Explains. To the Editor: , Mr. Iverson hss asked several very pertinent questions regarding my proposal to create a supreme curren cy control court, of nine members, and a social credit bank to expand actual money In -circulation to the end that the purchasing power of our family units may be Increased. I will undertake to answer the questions In the order asked. The social credit bank will be strictly a government proposition. The nine members of the currency control court appointed and con firmed aa the membera of the su preme court of the United Statea are selected will be the directors of the bank and will, at all times, act abso lutely Independently of the federal reserve banking system. That Is the reason I call this bank, or banking association, the "federal social credit bank" Instead of naming It "the fed eral central bank." This court and bank acting together with congress will become the main factora In Issu ing circulating notes legal tender money. 1-10 of One Percent Interest My proposal would not Involve the taking back by the government of any privileges the banks now have as regards Issuance of currency. But government bonds back currency Is sues would bear only l-10th of 1 per cent rsta of Interest Instead of 2 or 4 rate of interest. The National Banking Act of 1863 provided that "A Banking Association" could deposit government bonds with the treasurer of the United States and the comp troller of currency would Issue circu lating notes legal tender money equal In amount to the par value of the bonds." The Interest these bonds would bear waa not designated. Our proposed currency control act design ates the rate of interest to be 1-10 of one per cent and the soclsl credit bsnk la empowered to buy these cur rency expansion bonds when the majority of the court sanctions their purchase. After, of course, the bonds have been voted by congress so plac ing a double check upon the Issuance of currency. The "banking association", in this case the social credit bank, remains the legal owners of the bonds de posited with the treasurer of the United States until the bonds are paid off, as is now the case when bonds are deposited by the Federal Reserve banks. These bonds would be liquidated as the debts owed to the government by Individuals, legal subdivisions and corporations were paid off. Take for example the Irri gation onds of the Medford Irriga tion district. These bonds would be refinanced at Vi of one per cent rate Interest with no payment on the principal for ten years. I would pay then, for the coming ten years, 2S cents per acre on the bonded in debtedness on the land I own In the Medford Irrigation District, Instead of (3 per acre per year as I now pay. On the 80 acres I own In the district I would save and have to spend 220 each year that I now muat pay out on this debt. When this money was spent for goods and services wage Income would be Increased $440 thru this one Interest saving transaction. Half for Townsend Plan Now George, regarding the Town send plan I will go "part wsy." $50 per month for all retired workers over 60 yeara of age, but no taxes, no subtraction of any kind, to pay this $50 until purchasing power Is doubled in the United States. At that point I would stabilize purchas ing power by balancing the budget for the old age pension account by levying a 3 tax on wage Income and a 6T, tax on eurplua earnings. Until that time, I would pay the old age pension by adding actual money to the currency stream by selling gov ernment bonds besr 1-10 of one per cent rata of intereat to the social credit bank. Taxation, subtrsctlon, would only be instituted to stabilize purchasing power after It hsd been built up to match cspaclty produc tion. How much money would do the trick? Towr.scnd Is pretty close to the right figure. If three hundred million dollars was actually put Into the pockets of our family unlta each week to spend, cither through Inter est snd taxes saved, or by allowing an old age pension without Imposing taxes, there would result a six hun dred million dollsr Increase In wage Income per wtek. msklng a total increase of nine hundred million pet week In Income spent or about double the present amount of in come spent. Weakness of Tonn.fnd Plan The Townsend Plan would not do the trick since It proposes to subtract through taxes as much as It adds In the way of pensions. The Townend Plan would not reduce Interest or reduce taxea and would not Increase the amount of actual money in cir culation and would not build up LOW PRICED LUMBER AT BIG PINES LUMBER CO. PHONE 1 purchasing power. Neither would the $30 every Thursday plan wort aa proposed In California. A proposal that adds up, that la economically sound, will prevail when once discovered and atated re gardless of oposltlon. Finally the J. c." plan does pro pose to put a "whsle of a lotj more money Into circulation not by in creasing our Interest burden but by decreasing the Interest burden and taxea from the issuance of the flrat U. S. currency expansion bonds bear ing 1-10 of one per cent rata of Interest. J. 0. BARNES.
